Do you see your smiling face in this video?

Hey M&Mer's!

Barb is in NC so our recording of this week's class might be coming a little late, but we wanted to go ahead and share a special video with you.  As you know, when M&M goes "abroad", Barb will be making video recordings of our classes in the future.  How cool is that?  We're trying to get the hang of how this will work so Barb has made her very first video.

Do you see your smiling face in this video?  Watch to find out...  And if you DON'T see your face, please send me your picture asap! :)

Love to you all-

Leslie

Good evening ladies!

I know this info is coming entirely too late in the week, but I'm thankful that you have learned over the past year or so to extend much grace to your weary little online captain. :)  Here are the quick links for this week!

*  This week's class
*  "The Apprentice Juggler" story (read last semester, uploaded again for your listening pleasure)

I hope you all have a wonderful week!  Don't forget- M&M @ Jamestown Coffee Monday night at 6:45pm, and Tuesday afternoon 12pm in LPC Sr. High Room!

Weeks 1 & 2 (R&R M&M)

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry that I'm getting this kicked off a week late, but we wanted to trim down the recordings and such.  We have two weeks down, and the summer is already flying by!

I have uploaded the recordings- quick links here! :)

* Week 1 - June 12

* Week 2 - June 19

Keep reviewing and chewing!  Love to you all!

M&M Starts Back Soon!

Good evening ladies!

We are so excited about R&R M&M coming up THIS Monday and Tuesday!  A few quick reminders:

1)  Mondays - 6:45pm - 8pm @ Jamestown Coffee (small donations towards the room reservation would be appreciated)

     Tuesdays - 12pm - 1:15pm @ Lexington Presbyterian Church - Sr. High Room

2)  Do you still have your "Thy Kingdom Come" and "Arise!" verse cards?  If so, bring them with you!

3)  We will be recording R&R M&M as we have done in the past so you can enjoy the verse review and stories online if you would like!  We know everyone is busy in the summer and can't always make it.

4)  If you haven't already "RSVP"d to me, would you mind doing that now?

Want some inspiration?  Check out Barb doing M&M with the ladies in Japan last year! Click Here! How special.  Let's continue to pray for Dave and Barb as they prepare to go to Japan.

Hope to see ya'll on Monday or Tuesday!

In Him,

Leslie

Summer M&M

Hey everybody!

A common "remark" made by many M&M'ers is, "I love memorizing verses, but after the semester is done I forget them so quickly!  I wish I could have a better method of reviewing so that they will be more firmly planted in my heart".  Well my friends, have we got a plan for you!

Here's the deal- It will be very casual, a very relaxing time.  We will review verses from Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 and Barb will read us stories, her favorite!  I'm excited to spend as much time as I can listening to sweet Barb before she heads out for Japan, aren't you?  Please share with others who haven't M&M'ed before, they are welcome to join us too.

Dates:  June 11th/12th - July 30th/31st.  We'll break during VBS week because all of you will be volunteering, right? :)

Location:  Jamestown Coffee (donations for room rental appreciated)

Monday Nights - 6:45 - 8pm 

Tuesday Afternoons - 12pm - 1:15pm

See the attached flyer for more info!  Share with friends!  Don't forget to let me know if you plan to attend and if so, whether you prefer Mondays or Tuesdays.

Blessings,

Leslie

Just in case you can attend...

Hi ladies,

April 29th will be a special day. Barb's sister-in-law Sherry (an Online M&M-er) sent her the following info. Scotty Smith is the author of Everyday Prayers 365 Days to a Gospel-Centered Faith that Barb has read from in M&M. Here's a blurb about World Harvest Mission from their website http://www.whm.org/:

AN EVENING WITH WORLD HARVEST MISSION - On April 29th at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts there will be a 7:00pm Reception featuring Speaker Scotty Smith and a performances by acting group ‘Peculiar People.’ Contributions welcome at the event.

(The event will be in Winston-Salem, NC, a three hour drive from Lexington)

World Harvest Mission was organized under the leadership of Dr. Jack Miller, a pastor, evangelist and author. In the late 1970s, the missions-outreach of the congregation he founded and pastored, New Life Presbyterian Church, was spreading beyond that local body. Other church leaders gathered with Dr. Miller to work together in wider ministry. After many informal missions trips to Ireland and Uganda, World Harvest Mission was officially established in 1983.

We just wanted to share this information with you in case you wanted to take a fun road trip for a night of laughter and inspiration!

If you stay in town on April 29th, plan to join us for a Werner Twins Gift Card Shower at LPC! During the 5th Sunday Fellowship meal, we'll be encouraging Liz and Clay with a shower for the twins. Bring a gift card in any amount from Babies-R-Us or Target, some food to share, and your prayers and blessings for the family! 6PM in Tomlin Hall.

Barb and Leslie

M&M.... The End????

Hey Ladies,

I'm so sad that this semester has come to an end, but what a joy it has been M&M'ing with you. Thanks to all who came to the recital this evening. It was such a blessing for me to be able to recite God's Word with you ladies! Several things came up during class so I'll mention them quickly so you can get to Barb's summary.

The links to Barb's quotes are included as well as a link to the store where Brenda found those beautiful pillowcases. I also included a link to the "Seeds" family worship scripture songs. If you haven't already sent me a picture, PLEASE PLEASE do!! :) Have a blessed week.

Well, my sisters, our M&M term "Thy Kingdom Come" has come to an end. In this last class we recited all the verses through #12. The #13 card is your "take home" verse; a parting gift! We won't be able to meditate on this one together.

I did not really share my meditations on the Philippians verses; rather I chose to talk more about the big picture of the Kingdom. I read from the devotional Jesus Calling from March 24 and handed it out on an index card. I also shared from my journal that I've kept since we started wondering if God were calling us back to Japan. I shared it because I thought it might encourage you as you consider "What is MY calling in the Kingdom?" Then we reread our quote cards. I love those quotes! May God speak to you through His Word and through your meditation time as well as our time we've had together.

Thank you, each of you, who have travelled on this journey with me. Some of you have been in every study - all 7 of them, starting in 2009. Wow! Well done! But whether you've been there from the beginning or just joined us in the last couple of weeks, I thank you for your encouragement and sharing your own thoughts on our verses. God has used you in my life, and I thank Him for you.

It will look a little different from here on out, but I look forward to how God will keep us connected and continue to use M&M as an instrument to encourage women to meditate on and memorize His Word.

We are considering a once-a-week get together to review previous verses and have STORYTIME!! We'll keep you posted.

Many, many thanks to you, and a heart full of gratitude to our King,

Barb
